Interview With Author Seneca Swalm on His Forth- coming Book. HIS OPINION OF McDONALD. The Characters and Scenes in the New Work—Dick Is Not Spared. Seneca Swalm read the CALL's interview with Dick McDonald and the statements of the imprisoned ex-banker in regard to himself and his book. “Mr. McDonald accuses me of entertain- ing vindictive resentments,”” said Mr. Swalm. “Now, as far as that goes, I con- sider that a man who has suffered as T have cannot be supposed to entertain any very amiable opinions of his persecutors. McDonald is now in prison himself, and I do not like to hit a man when he is down. But in my book I tell the truth, and the whole truth, and therefore this person, who was a prominent and energetic actor in the conspiracy of which I was the vic- tim, is not spared. I have kept silentall these years, and I suffered uncomplain- ingly. Possibly I may have been sustained by the strong and unfailing consciousness that no matter how long delayed the day of my vindication might be, it would come “Mr. McDonald claims that my book is instigated by a man who is using me as a tool,” continued Mr. Swalm, with a quiet “That I know he does not believe. Do I require an instigator to write the story of the McDonalds? Are not my rea- sons so strong for exposing the skeletons | in their closet that no mass of instigation could make it stronger? Is therean in- dividual among the thousands of their victims who has greater cause to complete their unmasking than myself? There is not. Again, Mr. McDonald states that he knows the contents of the book; but again this is a falsehood. Themanuscript oigmy book has been seen only by eight or ten of my friends, including the gentleman who is now dramatizingit. And they are not McDonald’s friends, nor have they communicated to him an_iota of its con- | tents.

Oakland police officials, with the assistance of Detective Anthony, yesterday arrested Wal- ter Ross, George Ross, W. B. Holland and W.

The first portion of the book shows the designs of the old doc- tor on his beautiful daughter-in-law—how he induced his son to permit her to ac- company him to Los Angeles and his con- duct toward her in that city; how much that unfortunate lady has suifered at the hands of son and father; their conspiracy against her and myself; how cunningly they laid their snares when they werein wer; how they plotted against the bank epositors and won the influence of the churches, and the entire history of her deplm'abfe experience and my persecu- tions are detailed in this volume. “Yes, I have arranged for the illustra- tions. 'Here is the design for_the frontis- piece,” and Mr. Swalm exhibited a clever pen-and-ink sketch. 2 It was the shooting scene in the hotel parlor, and showed an excited throng rushing into a room filled with smoke from the pistol shots, the old man, with his features ghasily and distorted with terror, is being assisted to the sofa, while in the act of swooning. Beneath the lighted chandelier a tall, exquisitely formed young woman, elegumar dressed in street attire, is'standing in a dramatic pose, calm, reso- lute, defiant and beautiful, with a smoking revolver in her hand. A police officer in uniform is hurrying toward the woman through the crowd. The title of the pic- ture is “In Defense of Her Honor.” g “The rest are equally effective,” said Mr, Swalm. Remember this book was not written in a hurry, and every situationand every incident has been closely studied. “I'will ask no mercy from my critics when the book is launched; for the same reason I make no apology—none is neces- sary. From a lioeralx_-{ point of view the work may not be perfect—no one expects it; but in’ point of originality no one can dispute it. I have purloined no man’s words or plot in narrating my story; not because others have not told better stories, but because the resources whence I have drawn my material admitted of a worthier cause. II ‘He Shall Be Damned’ has no other virtue, it is at least the naked truth. That the story has been somewhat embel- lished by an interwoven vein of romance was deemed necessary bg me; but the truth has been left to stand out in bold re- lief without any effort of mine to alter its form or significance. E g “My mogfive for delving in the mine of truth for material for such a book was an honest and natural one. I realized that there were too many half-told tales of suf- fering, crime and duplicity in real life, an: that if the whole truth and both sides of these same tales were told in plain terms the unsuspecting public would be shocked —horrified at the unveiled aspect as de- picted. time the I believe tnat it is hi masses should learn the ungerlying cor- ruption and the despotic power of these moneyed men who go through lite masked in the garb of philanthropy and Chris- tians (with all due deference to those who are what they seem), and if I have chosen an array of incidents to illustrate the theme which seem unreal and extravagant itis because they are true—for truth is stranger than fiction. “If I succeed in putting a gullible public upon their guard against those emulators of Judas Iscariot, who stalk the land in the garb of him whom they betray, and if I show the necessity of close serufiny into the motives of many social and eriminal condemnations 1 shall have accomplished the object of my ungarnished story. “I shall probably find my publisher in the East. Iam all ready to go ahead now, and but for my decision of having the drama precede the k, the menuscript would now be in the printer's hands. When I consider that my audience will be drawn from the 14,000 creditors of the Pacific Bank, less those that committed suicide, and when I include the vast number of outsiders who have watched the McDon- alds’ career, I think I am not too sanguine in anticipating a couple of weeks’ run for the play. No, I shall not send Dr. McDon- ald a box for the first night. Iam afraid he would not find it convenient to come,’”’ concluded Mr. Swalm, with a grim smile, as he refolded the manuscript of his book. THE PLAYERS' COLUMN, Good Performance of “Cap- tain Swift” Given by Frawley. Original Ballets in “Humpty-Dump- ty”—*Dorothy” at the Tivoli. Daniel Frawley made a distinct hit at the Columbia Theater last night by his imper- sonation of Captain Swift in Haddon Chambers’ play of that name. Swift is a notorious Australian bush- ranger, who, being ‘“wanted’’ by the police for a series of desperate deeds, returns to England under an alias, and falls in love with his cousin, who has not the least idea of his identity. Frawley played the role with coolness and ease. There was no blunder about his Swift, and vet he suc- ceeded in making his audience feel that his coolness sprang from the recklessness of the man who gambles with fortune. In the conservatory scene, and also in the act, he showed touches of genuine feeling, which were thoroughly in keeping h his artistic conception of the character as a whole. Hudson Liston was good as the pompous old Mr. Seabrook, and H. D. Blackmore was natural and effective as the love-lorn Harry, while Frederick Tjader gave a careful character study of the role of Bates. The ladies, dithough ex- ceptionally well gowned, were not so at home in their parts as the men. Miss Phosa McAl- lister as Mrs. Seabrook, however, did excellent work in the conservatory scene, where she ac- knowledged herself to be Swift’s mother. Miss Blanche Bates' archness, though pretty, was a trifle overstudied, and Miss Jennie Kennark was almost too consclentiously precise and careful in her interpretation of the warm- hearted Stella. She looked charming, how- ever, and her enunciation was tellingly clear. All the minor roles in “Captain Swift” were well a}ln}'ed and the play was excellently staged. At the Baldwin, The Lilliputians drew a large house at the Baldwin last night. Although the little peo- ple play in German their talents are very ap- | parent with the people who do not understand the language and the &pectacular part of “Humpty Dumpty” is especially good. Morosco’s Theater. “A Man Among Men,” which received its first San Francisco production at Morosco’s last night, is highly sensational drama, the inter- est of which hinges on “The Tally System”— that is paying miners in kind instead of in money. Fred S. Butler, Morosco’s villain, having ap- {mrent]y repented of his ways, blossomed forth ast night into “the man,” and made a very good hero. As superintendent of the mine he sees the misery of the men and urfies improve- ment and grester precaution on the dircetors who, however, disregard his warnings ol danger. The upshot of this earelessness is an explosion in the mine in which several men are killed. W. L. Gleason gave a very successful interpre- tation of the miserly airector, who, in spite of his advanced age, makes lové to the heroine, Miss Hall, In the third_act the smelting furnaces are seen in full blast with the puddlers at work manipulating the molten metal. The dissatisiac- tion of the men culminates in an attack on the obnoxious store, where the women have taken refuge. Morrow, the superintendent, defends the store, and fails pierced by a bullet. “A Man Amone Men” is the most exciting melodrama that Morosco has mounted for some time, and it is well acted by an efficient com- pany. Dorothy.” The comic opera ‘‘Dorothy,” by Alfred Cel- lier, was presented at the Tivoli o & large au- dience last night. The piece is well mounted, and the old favorites of the Tivoli were in the spirit of the music and the story. It is worth seeing and hearing. The Orpheum, A complete change of programme was on at the Orpheum last night. The usual Monday night audience filled the house from audito. rium to gallery. Will H. Fox, the piano elec- trocutor, holds his %ace in the favor of the patrous, the Rogan Brothers, German comedi- ans, have considerable new work that pleases, and Mons Nizarras, the Spanish ring athlete, is one of the best of his kind. Jules Levy, the cornetist, has his admirers who never tire of him, and at each night's performance he makes new friends. George Wood is on for the second week, but he holds his own in his comedy acts. Richmond and Glenroy in an original talking act/and Maud Raymond, singing sou- brette, are new to the house, and clever. Georgé, Felix and John J. Cain, acrobat, comedian and voealist respectively, are good. The frequenters of the Orpheum do not seem to get tired of them. Living 8tatnary at the Carnival, A two-third audience was present at the first appearance of the living bronzed statuary at the Venetian Carnival last evening. While there is nmmm;l in the presentation of the bronze-covered living figures to shock the seasoned theater-goer who is accustomed to ballets and the like, the thoughtful man would hesitate before taking_his sister or any young lady in whose welfare he had an unusual in- terest to witness the display. HELD FOR ROBBERY. Result of the Preliminary Examination of Hill Durkin. The preliminary examination of Hill Durkin and Daniel Lawler, on the charge of robbery, in connection with the hold-up in the branch office of the American Dis- trict Telegraph Company, Sutter and Leavenworth streets, about two weeks ago, was held before Judge Low yesterday. Several witnesses for the defense endeay- ored to {rove an alibi for the defendants, but in the case of Durkin the attempt failed and the Judge Leld him to answer before the Buperior Court in $2000 bonds.

DEPENDING UPON CHARITY, The City and County Hospital in a Most Pitiable Condition. THE MEDICINES ALL GONE. Citlzens Donating Drugs and Band- ages for the Unfortunate Patlents. Since last Thursday nearly 300 patients in the City and County Hospital have been dependent upon private charity for the medicines and bandages they have used. It wasonly by entreaties that one of the meat contractors wasinduced to give enough mutton to last a few days. A few public-spirited citizens have done what they could to alleviate the sufferings of the unfortunate inmates of the hospital. As is well known this deplorable state of affairs is due to the alleged shortage of funds in the City treasury. As a fact there is now in the treasury $2,300,000, but this cannot be touched, not even if the hospital patients perish for the want of a few dollars’ worth of medicines and other necessities. This large sum of money was raised for other purposes. Dr. Titus has been at his wits’ end for the past week to devise means for provid- ing for those under his care. He said: “We have been particularly short of sup- plies in the drug department for some time past. These supplies are furnished by tne month and not upon yearly contracts, zvhin it becct?;ue!ggiubtmltghout_ thni c%n- ractors ge T ey sim e- clined logbid for thepgiipitgl plt'r)oiage. This month not a single dealer came for: ward to furnish us with medicines, and as we never carried any stock on hand we ran out completely on Thursday. I was then obliged to close the surgical depart- ment, where we attend to patients who are not inmates, in order to save the bandages and lint for those who are under this roof. I called upon thc Finance Committee of = made a long plea for mercy. He read let- ters to sl?ogw that Farrow had a very good character previous to his recent attempt to become a great counterfeiter. Judge Hawley evidently took this into consider- ation, for he gave Farrow a sentence of only four yearsin Folsom and ordered him to_pay a fine of $1000. Farrow will not be able to pay the fine, so he will serve thirty days in the Alameda Coan Jail after taking the poor man’s oath. Allthe charges of counterfeiting against Dean’s pretty wife were dismissed. THE VALLEY ROAD. Survey of the Line to the Stanislaus. Directors’ Meeting. ““The line between Stockton and the Stanislaus River,” said Chief Engineer Storey of the San Joaquin Valley ler@d yesterday, ‘“is practically surveyed, with the exception of a distance of a few miles near Stockton, where the surveyors were called back to alter the course so asto avoid passing over certain improvements. The changes, however, are very slight. This week two surveying parties will be sent further on to commence work.” This forenoon the board of airestors of the Valley road will hold an important meeting, when the question of pooling stock will be brought up, Other matters of interest to the stockholders will also be considered. \ PRETTY AUTCAL G, The Fine Steél Bark Santlago Crulses Along the Water Front. She Comes in From the Sea and Goes to Her Moorings Under Full Sail. To the admirers of things marine the fine spectacle of a vessel under full sail coming up the bay was presented to the water front yesterday, when the iron bark Santiago came in from Hilo, Hawaiian Islands. Clothed in canvas from deck to truck she swept grandly by the docks with no other power of propulsion than the fair wind that clung to her quarter and drove her ahead. She was loaded only deep enmough to NEWS-DEALERS INDIGNANT They Condemn Frank Kane’s Recent Seizure of Books and Papers. THE DECAMERON A CLASSIC. The Selzed Perlodicals Approved and Mailable as Second- Class Matter. All the news-dealers in San Francisco are in arms over the last declaration of Frank Kane, the secretary of the Society to Pre- vent Vice. The decree was made known by the seizure at the store of E.P. Levy. 331 Bush street. Copies of the Standard, the Police Gazette, Sarony’s Living Pict- ures, Art Idols of the Paris Salon, the De- cameron and a number of other publica- tions were seized. Emile Bauer, manager of the San Fran- cisco News Company, says the pictures are neither indecent nor obscene, ‘“We handle the Police Gazette and sim- ilar periodicals,” he said, “and the Stand- ard. Both these papers pass through the mails as second-class matter. Anthony Comstock is a Postoffice Inspector, and you may be sire if they were indecent he would prevent their being mailed.” Mr. Levy claims that the matter is a case of persecution. He had taken a re- production of a picture from the Paris salon out of the window at Mr. Kane’s or- ders. Later he replaced it because he saw the same picture in the windows of other dealers. “Then Mr. Kane seized the books and papers. Though he must know they are exposed for sale in almost every news- stand in town he only seized those at my place. There are from 4000 to 5000 Police Gazettes sold in San Francisco. My place was one of the few ihat never put them on the billboards. Yet my place was raided and all the rest have been allowed to go free. What is more, Mr. Kane has threatened, in the presence of witnesses, THE BARK SANTIAGO PASSING THE CITY FRONT YESTERDAY WITH SAILS SET. [Sketched by a “Call™ artist.] the Supervisors and the Auditor, explain- ing the condition of the hospital, but they said they were helpless in the matter. The unfortunate patients here have to be cared for, and as a last resort I appealed to the public for help.” This appeal touched the heartsof a num- ber of people and temporary relief was given. ueorge A. Root of Sixth and How- ard streets forwarded to the hospital all absorbent cotton, bandages, etc., he had in stock and gave an order upon a wholesale house for such medicines as are needed at once. Redington & Co.contributed 100 pounds of cotton and lint. Clinton E. Worden, a manufacturer of drugs on Townsend street near Fourth, gave an order for supplies in his line. A lymire, a drugeist. offered to divide his stock with the hospital. These gifts are but a meansof temporary relief, and considerable of the supplies thus donated haye been used up already. The donors, while E:\'ing freely, have politely declined to become creditors of the City or furnish ten cents’ worth of goods on a contract. “‘There is no immediate danger of our patients starving for a week as the sup- plies of food are received on yearly con- tracts. What we are in the greatest need of are such medicines as pills of various kinds, quinine, glycerine, cascara nfiudn, }}nndnges, disinfectants, etc.,” said Dr. itus. “Last Friday the contractor who fur- nishes the mutton declined to allow the Citg 1o get any deepeu in debt to him. He said that if the City will not pay its bills, with over two million dollars in the treas- ury, he would not lose any more on his contract. Iinduced him to give enough for a few days. This will last until ‘Wednesday. After that Idon’t know what we will do. 4 ““With the supplies we have on hand and those promised I think we can get along to the end of this week. If the Supreme Court decides that the Supervisors cannot make a tax levy to pay back bills I know that all of our yearly contractors will shut off the supply, for t'hef have told me they would. 'his hospital will have to have relief soon. We have mnearly 300 sick peo- ple in the wards, and outside of the salaries of the surgeons and attendants it costs nearly $4000 a month to conduct the in- stitution.” The condition of affairs at the County Jail, House of Correction and Almshouse is but little better than at the hospital. Superintendent Clarkson of the House of Correction states that while the prisoners are not in actual want, they are liable to be at any time. Instead of receiving a month’s ~supplies, the contractors give only enough to last from week to week. They are waiting for the Supreme Court decision and are ready to quit at a mo ment’s notice if the decision is adverse to any chances of receiving their pay. At the Almshouse there is a scarcity of feed for the livestock, but the inmates of the house are not suffering yet. There are rovisions enough to last for a week or ten ays. - Yesterday the milkman became scared and refused to deliver any more milk until the question of pay is legall settled. Fora time the City’s wards wxiyl take black coffee straight. W. I. DEAN'S SENTENCE. The Counterfeiter Sent to Folsom for Four Years. The trial of W. J.

There were several hundred of the music-loving public of S8an Francisco pres- ent, and they were not slow in showing their appreciation of the music. The first item on the programme was Boetiger’s “Volunteer,” followed by a se- lection from Suppe’s “Poet and Peasant.” This last was very strong, two extra pieces being necessary to satisfy the clamorous audience. The best selection of the even- ing, however, was one by Libornio, the ader, called ‘‘Hawaiian Songs.” This was particularly well rendered, the people clamoring for more and more, until the musicians seemed literally tired out. Of the regular scheduled native songs “Fancy Leaves’” and “The Flowers of Hawaii” seemed to strike the FPHI" fancy, though every song rendered by the musicians from the little Pacific republic was well received. The clarionet solo of D. Kaleikoa was excellent, that gentleman being called be- fore the footlights three times. Senor Libornio is doing all that he can to satisfy the musical critics of San Fran cisco, and the increased attendance each n?ht would seem to indicate that his efforts are appreciated. The fouowin§ excellent programme has been prepered for to-night: March, “The High School Cadets" Overture, “Fra Diavolo” Sousa uber ornio Selection, “Faust’.. Gounod Allegro, “Kun Ipo Nohen (The One I Love). u%ftscfi‘“w- ua Alo Lahilahi” (Kanai, Beauti- “Pun Ohulu” “Hula, Maunakea” (The Belles of Maunakea street). Clarionet solo, “Auld Lang Syne”...

R. Coover of ‘“Cooper’s,” on Market street, expressed the opinion that Mr. Kane had been very foolish, The matter of the decency of the Police Gazette had been tried both here and in the East, he said, and the paper was allowed to cir- culate. ““We don’t keep those papers now,” he continued, “but it is only because we have no call for them.” **‘Why, the Decameron is a classic,” said ‘William Doxey of ‘“Doxey’s” in the Palace. “I would not sell it to a young girl, but I would not hesitate to give it to a mature person. There is a great deal of good work for a man in Mr.” Kane's position to do. But he must use discretion.” G. H. Meyers of the Dod;& Book and Stationery ~ Company, 107 ) ontgomery street, recalled the fact that men kad twice had been put on trial in San Fran- cisco for selling the Decameron and were both times acquitted. “Men in Mr. Kane’s‘pnsition get to look at things with unhealthy eyes,” he said. “Why, Mr. Kane ordered my clerk to take a copy of Fitzgerald’s ‘Rubaiyat of Omar Khayan’ out of the window because of a picture of Eve in the Garden of Eden on one of its pages. And the picture wasone of Elihu Vedder’s, too,” he added. J. Ephrian, at 17 Geary street, had al- ways sold the seized periodicals and said there was no question of their decency. These sentiments were re-echoed at the “‘Paper Covered Book Store,”” 1203 Market street, whose managers declared that Mr, Kane only complained of things as inde- cent when they were exposed in the win- dows; while, if they were kept inside, he thonght they were all right. Mr. Kane says he is satisfied that he can sngprenu the habit of exposing Police Ga- zeitesand similar publications in public view. He expects to have a complete list of those selling such papers by to-morrow and will follow the matter up. BUDD'S OUTING. Booked Yesterday With a Party of Friends for the Yosemite.
